So I issued an order calling in all the wise men of Babylon, so they could tell me what my dream meant.When all the magicians, enchanters, astrologers, and fortune tellers came in, I told them the dream, but they could not tell me what it meant.

The messenger shouted,“ Cut down the tree and lop off its branches! Shake off its leaves and scatter its fruit! Chase the wild animals from its shade and the birds from its branches.

I will pay you very well and do whatever you tell me. Just come and curse these people for me!”
